I agree that a group of patches should go together in most cases. > Why don't you want to integrate this with them? Because the arm-soc tree wants dts changes separately in general. The dts changes are considered firmware describing hardware. And it makes it possible to split the arm-soc pile of patches into multiple pull requests. In theory there should be no dependency between dts changes and driver changes, but in reality that's not always the case :) What I can do is set up a separate branch with just this patch on top of the dts changes that the arm-soc guys can then merge towards the end of the merge cycle. If that works for you, let me know and I'll do it. Regards, Tony
